Finidi George currently mentains the record for serving the shortest time as head coach of the Super Eagles of Nigeria.
Sunday Oliseh also comes to mind as one of the coaches with the shortest stints. Both have something in common; they were excellent national team players who were at their best during their playing days.
The disagreement revolved around disciplinary issues. According to account, Enyeama lost a close relation about the time the national team was preparing for national assignment. He then sought for exclusion from the team's business to enable him be in the mood of the incident. Osimhen and Finidi's issue is very similar to the explanation above. Osimhen sought exemption from national team action to enable him rehabilitate from injuries. I have not gotten and may not get the full story of what went wrong, however Finidi seemed disrespected by Osimhen's attitude.
It is even more so with managing successful and big-star players. This problem is weaved into ego and a drive by ex players-turned-coaches to prove self worth. If you find out what it takes team managers to keep a player like El Haji Diof , Mario Baloteli, Ajen Robben - named by sports journalists as one of the most hot-tempered footballers, then you would appreciate the task of a football coach or manager.There was a problem processing your submission.
